There are a lot of people we would like to thank for all their support since we started but in some ways we feel that we are only now really gaining momentum.
We publish a monthly newsletter that is often very detailed but we do urge our members to study it in great detail and to please take the time to contribute on issues that they have strong views on or where they have background information that might be valuable to us.
It is not Steam in Action's responsibility to publish details of train movements. These can be ascertained by staying in touch with the major operators, namely Reefsteamers (www.reefsteamers.co.za), Friends of the Rail (www.friendsoftherail.com), and as far as Narrow Gauge is concerned the Apple Express (www.apple-express.co.za).
Although our manifesto is nearly two years old it is still entirely valid and if you are not entirely sure what Steam in Action's mandate and function is then please take a moment to read it.
You can contact us at any time on the following e-mail address: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

More details can be found in our Manifesto.

All the Fire Department could do was to stand by and watch. Apparently they had no fire-fighting equipment at their disposal anywhere. Much of the building could have been saved had the Fire Department been adequately equipped.

An article appeared recently on Engineering News' web site which will be of interest to our web site visitors: The future of heritage rail and rail tourism depends on the ability of the Heritage Railway Association of South Africa (HRASA) and its members to formulate a national sustainable model based on tourism and driven by that portfolio at the highest level, new HRASA chairperson Nerina Skuy said...
